Hello

Managed to get out this morning with Fors gold before our heat wave hits. Went to my cousins property where we did very well before with gb pros. I ran fors in boost mode sens 85 and managed to find 4 more pcs of gold from previously detected ground. The mineralization is very bad at this spot. But fors did very well. Found 2.8 dwt for the morning. So It was a good day. Atleast we didnt have to deal with hobos trashing up the property.
Good luck

Congrats on the nice nugs! Also good to hear you got out for a "Hobo Free" day.

Here's your gold sans the flash flare:

Good stuff CaliforniaGold, it's a real pleasure to read your articles and view your photos, so thankyou. I keep reading comments on your threads about problems with vagrants and trashing what should be clean, pristine areas. Such is so remote from my experiences over here that I have little to add to such discussions. But, I certainly do sympathize with you guys. I would find it appalling and intolerable, and I can see that Hoser John and others feel the same. So while I've been quiet on the subject to date, and although I doubt it means much to you guys so far away from Ontario, you certainly do have my full, unequivocal support. Just thought I would mention that to you, all the best going forward.

Jim.

Thanks for the comments. Ty dizzy for . The special effects on photo. Thank you Jim for the hobo concerns. It just goes with the territory. And our territory is not so good anymore. If you live in a place with low crime rates then figure you have a nice town live in. I wish our hobos were like the old hobos of 70-80's just homeless vets or train riding hobos. Atleast they were respectful. Our state has the early out of prison clause . So they let out anybody that only steals, drug use, chld molest. But they supposedly keep the murders. Then they bring them to our area and let them free. So we have those kinda people running around on private and public lands very near town. But there is also alot of surface gold diggings in the same area. So we end up having interactions with them. They have already started 4-5 fires. They lit a train tresle on fire the other day. Lol. Oh well. Not much we can do I guess. Find some gold when we can.
